Red Belly Tank

[The Fish Importer]

Cane, I would def go with the black sand idea as this really brings out the fishes colours.

Obviously your not putting them in with the ray, as rays are amain food source for them in the wild so they would make short work of it in tank.

What size are they currently? What dimensions are they on the 40gallon as it looks much more to me, guess it must be quite a narrow tank??

Ginge, Can you not see from the picture there is plenty of room for the size and numbers of fish at present!
Instead of flaming maybe asking if cane was going to upgrade and point out the reasons why he would need to would have been a more constuctive post

PS Cane, if your doing a Post office robbery dont do it on a Wednesday as its pension day, you'll be queuing for hours

i have seen a red belly tank with black sand before and your right the colours look great i think i will wait till they are in the permanant 100g tank then put black sand in there.the ray and other fish are also being upgraded to a bigger tank.the 4 reds are only about 5" the current tank is 48x18x18.to be honest i dont how many gallons it is but its a good grow out tank
wont the post office have more cash on pension day tho

Very nice red bellies. Your tank at 48"x18"x18" = close to 70usg.

very nice! i'll come in with you on this post office robbery thing i need big tanks too

i quite like it with no substrate actually, i like the sparse look of your tanks, just highlights the fish

[Miss Wiggle]

no i don't do a lot of getaway driving surprisingly

the 100's lovely, i just wish i had more room, so many things i want to do!

 

[cane76]

i dont really have the room either.the current piranha tank will be closed down when they go in the 100 its the only way i could get my girlfriend to agree to a custom tank downstairs

 

[Miss Wiggle]

see we don't have that problem, can't wait for ian to move his big tank into mine! it's gorgeous

the house is crammed full and it's quite a regular evening activity at the moment working out how we can fit more tanks in!

Nice Red Bellies Cane. The first picture looks good, would you mind posting it in the profile that I wrote on them in the index? I am asking because the picture that I supplied is not the best

 

[cane76]

it's not big big as such, our 2nd biggest though, it's about 60g, it's got 6 angels, some cories, an albino plec and a couple of molly's, but his plec's going into my big tank soon and he's having my royal plec in it's place.
